Cinnamon Altoids

I asked Dustin to bring me home some sugar-free cinnamon gum. Well, he brought me gum but it was 2 packages of Cinnamon Altoids. I really did not think I would like them because I have had Altoids before and they were way too strong. I have been craving cinnamon since I stopped smoking so I was a little disappointed. I did not say anything but opened the Altoids and got one. Wow! They are so good and sure do a good job curbing the cravings!

So...recommendation #1 for stopping smoking...Chantix, recommendation #2...Cinnamon Altoids

Almost Fall

I feel like I have not had a summer break and I only have 2 more days until the new school year starts. :( Summer school was really rough this year, actually most of the summer was rough. Sometimes I think the school year is better than summer because at least I have long weekends and breaks to look forward to.

I cannot believe that Monday will bring September 1. I cannot believe that one month from today I will be 32. Where does time go? Soon we will be looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas then welcoming in 2009 (WOW). As time goes by, too quickly for me sometimes, I become more and more thankful for what I have been given. When it seems I cannot be more thankful, I am.

Doing great

I am doing really well with not smoking. I know, from previous experience, that the third day is usually the most difficult. However, today was not that bad. I am having some cravings but nothing like I would have if I was not taking the Chantix. So my recommendation...know anyone that wants to quit smoking? Definitely check out Chantix!

I wipe tears from my eyes...

because of all the support I am being shown! Thank you all so much! (Chandler and Liz, my latest blog posting encouragers). am proud to say it has been 48 hours 12 minutes. I am on such a "high" right now. I know I will not start smoking again!

Did you see?

It has been 41 hours and 29 minutes! Can you believe it??? I have had some cravings but overall I am doing really well. I have had a lot of encouragement from my Mom and friends (thanks, Mom, Stacy and everyone at work!). I am a little concerned about this long weekend but I will keep praying and I know I will make it through!

10 1/2 hours and counting...

I am feeling great! I am sure it will get more difficult as the day goes on but I can do this! BUT BY GOD!

Thanks for the encouragement Tammy and Jodi!

****Tomorrow is the Big Day****

I am going to quit smoking tomorrow. Well, technically it will be around 9:30-10:00 tonight but tomorrow is close enough. I am really excited but really nervous as well. Prayers are always appreciated! I know God is with me and will carry me through the coming days no matter how difficult they are as long as I lean on Him.
